Check out the picks from this week’s Guest Editor, Jacki Schklar of FunnyNotSlutty.com!

Tracy Tedesco – Everything falls apart when you age
Tracy Tedesco, The Cougar Comedian from Atlanta now living in NY. Tracy travels the land in search of the perfect/easy younger man and gives us a lot of laughs along her way. She is confident and throws down every show.

Tanyalee Davis – Fighting the King of Lizards
Tanyalee Davis is small. Like a small stick of dynamite. I was lucky enough to interview her for FnS.

Lizette Mizelle – Comedy Time
Lizette Mizelle was the first ever contributor to FnS. I can see her in a prime time family sitcom in a heartbeat.

Marina Franklin – Sassy black comedians
I live in Atlanta, so I know nothing about this. Marina Franklin has a lot of good stuff on Rooftop.

Tracey Ashley – The great stereotype-off
Annie introduced me to Tracey Ashley, a great Rooftop find. Tracy is smart.

Susan Alexander – Dead dad dating
Susan Alexander organizes the great 5 Funny Females tours, check them out.

The words, “stacked” and “card” come to mind when thinking about this year’s Aspen RooftopComedy Festival. The line-up has been officially announced, and a saunter to the official Aspen page at RooftopComedy will reveal who will be at the Wheeler Opera House this coming June 11 – 14. I’d name a few, but then I’d have to name them all. It’s only fair.

This week’s Guest Editor is former engineer Andy Wood, now co-founder and producer of the Bridgetown Comedy Festival in Portland, Oregon.

Todd Glass – Sick birdy taking a turdy
“Get awAY! Get awAY!” Kills me every time I watch it. I’m ridiculously excited about having Todd at the festival this year.

Matt Braunger – Cute but deadly
Bridgetown Comedy Fest co-founder Matt Braunger giving us all some sage advice that we can only hope will finally put an end to the pet owl craze.

Tig Notaro – Speaking out loud
Tig destroyed at Bridgetown last year, and this year’s festival wouldn’t be complete without her. So damn funny.

Brent Weinbach – God Bless America
You lookin’ good, Brent!

Auggie Smith – Halloween and pedophiles
Portland favorite Auggie Smith, exposing the seedy underbelly of Halloween.

Matt Dwyer – My big return to stand-up comedy
We couldn’t be prouder of his triumphant comeback. Damn you, Brokaw!

A second degree yellow belt with five USO tours to Afghanistan and Iraq under that belt, numerous TV credits, and as of 2008, co-founder of ComedyFilmNerds.com, Graham Elwood comes to RooftopComedy as our Guest Editor for the week. Aside from playing the funny paramedic on a recent episode of Comedy Central’s The Sarah Silverman Program you might remember our Guest Editor as the man couldn’t remember “boat, cucumber, wire” in Doug Benson’s pot-umentary (see what I did there?) Super High Me. Just in time for 4/20!

Dave Waite – Wendy’s went wrong
Dave’s delivery always makes me laugh and Wendy’s is a bag of stupid.

Steve Gillespie – Mouse problem
I just worked with Steve for the first time and I’m glad he has the fortitude to do what has to be done to keep this country safe from vermin.

Todd Glass – How to handle people who talk too much
Todd is a funny retard.

Doug Stanhope – I act this way because of my sign
Love the crazy yelling of Stanhope, all day long.

By Cadbury’s Eggs! To honor the tradition of hiding plastic eggs from children, ham, and Jesus rising from the grave to defeat the Romans and find the man who double crossed him in a bank job gone sour, we have none other than the Easter Bunny as Guest Editor this week!

John Evans – Eggs any style
Hah, this is a great joke! Wait for the well-hidden punchline!

Faye Haire – May your dreams come true
Faye Haire (great name, by the way) brings light to an issue that’s very important to my community. It’s very serious. I’m not sure why this is on a comedy website.

Keith Cissel – Smiling inside at Six Flags
Bugs is a friend of mine, and it’s great to see his impostors taken down a notch!

Steve Wilson – Family dysfunction
A heartwarming story about Easter!

Luenell – Letter to Santa
I know Santa from school, and this kind of thing really chaps his hide. His giant, red hide.

John Mulaney – Hiding from God
What can I say? I love hiding things!
